the false light of Hanukkah

Listen to the United States Under-Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Adam J. Szubin, invoke Chabad’s Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson’s message of Hanukkah and don’t miss the shout out to President Ronald Reagan for naming it the “National Menorah”.

Ever wonder what the miracle of Hanukkah, the ‘light’ of the eight days of oil, represents?

Additionally, in the opinion of one scholarly skeptic, Hanukkah’s sub rosa significance, communicated esoterically through the image of the menorah, is as a testimony to “the supreme position which the Holy Judaic People occupy in God’s eyes. …The secret of Hanukkah was disclosed by Rabbi Levi Isaac ben Meir of Berdichev (known as ‘the Kedushat Levi’ after his eponymous treatise), an important eighteenth century halachic [legal] authority, who revealed the fact that lighting the Hanukkah menorah does not commemorate the victory of the Biblical Maccabees.

The arcane traditional doctrine of Chazal (i.e. the “sages” of the Talmud) concerning Hanukkah is that it commemorates God’s “delight in the Jewish people” themselves, and their vainglorious celebrations. The secret teaching of Hanukkah is that God supposedly provided a mythical eight days of oil not as a means of facilitating a victory, or of guaranteeing the successful completion of a sacred duty, but rather as a sign (halacha osah mitzvah), of His continuing adoration of the Judaic people, which all the rest of us are supposed to emulate, as we do indeed whenever a menorah is erected where a Nativity scene is banned.

The Chanukah 'miracle of the oil' has its origin in Talmud tractate Shabat 21b and is generally accepted as originating 600 years after the events recorded in Book of Maccabees. Numerous rabbinic scholars have determined that the fable was invented at a time when militant Judaism would be a liability (c.f. the Bar Kochba rebellion), and so the 'miracle of the oil' was contrived and emphasized over the militant theme in the Book of Maccabees to mollify fanatics and thereby avoid backlash. This is an example of Judaic dispensationalism at work. For our time, when fear of backlash is less, we can see that the militant theme of Chanukah is more heavily emphasized (c.f. George W. Bush's White House Chanukah party speeches, Chabad Chanukah literature).

David Ben-Gurion, Israeli Prime Minister, and Abba Eban, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, presented Harry S. Truman with a menorah in the White House on May 8th, 1951. It was the first menorah in the White House.

Gerald Ford's 1975 letter to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The Chabad-Lubavitch sect of Hasidism, of which Schneerson was the head of, is responsible for the public display of the ‘National Menorah’ on federal government grounds.

Sanders was instrumental in getting the menorah on board ship, December 30, 2005.

Barack Hussein Obama words at the White House Hanukkah Ceremony on December 8, 2011.

Ten days early, Barack Hussein Obama cites the Prophecy of Isaias (Isaiah) from the Old Testament as stating that the Jewish people are the messiah or “a light unto the nations” as first done by Shlomo Yitzchaki (aka Rashi), jokes that the mainstream media is Jewish, and invokes a ‘tall tale’ from the Hasidic High Priest of Holocaustianity, Elie Wissel, as well as says that Wiesel corrected him many times, and endorses Talmudists as the eternal victims on December 16, 2016.

Ten days early, Barack Hussein Obama has his second menorah lighting and cites a fable as truth “George Washington and the menorah of Valley Forge” and says that Hanukkah inspired America’s founders two centuries ago to revolt from the British Crown, and Barack give a shout out to the deceased terrorist Shimon Peres and his family in attendance.

How ironic the first Menorah in the White House was 1951.That was the year Pius XII changed Holy Saturday and destroyed an ancient apostolic tradition.You see how God permits destruction among his followers when they disobey him?Thank you Lord Jesus our priest obeys the pre-1951 traditions,including after midnight Holy Communion fast.

Where is Christmas celebrated in the White House? Looking at Judaic Hanukkah worship has replaced the birth of Christ.Is America even Christian anymore? Has Talmudic Judaicism replaced Christianity as the the state religion?

Even notwithstanding the thread to current events, that letter dated 1975 to Schneerson is a real eye-opener. It gives one a very serious pause. As an aside, looking at the rest of the photos (V2 ecumenism in full swing except 1951 predates V2 ecumenism) I am want to think about what the Protestants have been doing in our governance all these years.
